All Caring provides hospice and palliative care for adults and children with a wide-range of terminal illnesses and conditions. The following is a non-inclusive list of diseases and conditions:

ALS

Alzheimer’s disease

Cancer

Heart Disease

Liver, lung and kidney disease

Stroke

Our focus is on the treatment of emotional and physical symptoms and pain management. All Caring’s palliative care is an active treatment. However, palliative care is not intended to cure the patient’s illness or condition. Palliative care is focused on enhancing the patient’s quality of life.

All Caring provides all prescription medications, medical equipment and supplies that are required to treat terminal illness. Additionally Alliance provides the four levels of Hospice care.

Routine Home Care
All Caring wants to keep patients at home, wherever that may be. Alliance does this by providing hospice care services where the patient considers their home.

Continuous Care
All Caring has the ability to provide crisis continuous care for a patient to avoid hospitalization. All Caring can provide hospice nurses and nursing aides at home for up to 24 hours, for a short period, during a care crisis.

Inpatient Care
All Caring has contract arrangements with local hospitals or other licensed facilities where patients are able to receive the necessary care when their needs cannot be provided for at home.

Respite Care
This care provides a brief “respite” for the patient’s primary caregiver. A patient is admitted to a licensed facility for up to 5 days to provide family caregivers with a period of rest.

Medicare/Medicaid
All Caring hospice care is covered by medicare and medicaid in most states. Since medicare and medicaid cover all hospice services related to the Hospice diagnosis, there is no out of pocket expenses for the patient and their family to worry about.

Private Insurance
All Caring is able to contact a patient’s private insurance company to ask about coverage provided for hospice care.

“I will be forever grateful for the Director’s advice to call my sons home. We had been told that he had 3-6 months but when she came to speak with us, she could tell it would be sooner. They quickly got a hospital bed and pain meds for him that night. By the next day, my sons arrived and he died the following day with his family surrounding him. Thank you!”
